第二章 末世中的最佳避难所
Chapter 2: The Apocalypse's Best Refugee
中介连忙起身，带着罗勋走了出来。一出门，就指着不远处的几栋高层介绍：“宏景小区，西南区的新小区，他们小区的楼还没彻底建完呢。其中一部分是市区里面住户的回迁房，剩下的都是商品房。您看中的这套房子是个金角、把边、又不靠马路，安静、视野又好，而且还是新装修的，您别看这块地方有点偏、人不多，但将来肯定是商业中心，您看中的这片旁边，就是那个不高的建筑，这是盖出来准备当大超市的呢……”
The mediator (is it a name of someone?), led Luo Xun out the door. Once they came out, he pointed to the nearby building and introduced it. “ This is the ___neighborhood, the southwest partition of the new district. The other parts are not done yet. One portion of the place is used for housing, and the rest are for commercial use. This house here is a golden spot, with the newest technology, quiet neighborhood, and a good sightseeing background. Even Though there are not a lot of people and businesses at this center, eventually, it will turn into a great commercial plaza. You see that big infrastructure in the middle? That will be used as the supermarket…….”
罗勋一面听着一面笑着点头并不说话。他清楚得很，剩下的新楼后来只盖好了两栋，那个传说中的超市也永远成为了传说。倒是这片地方，日后确实成为了倒是这片地方了黄金繁华地带。
Luo Xin listened and smiled. He remembered very clearly, only two of the buildings were completed, the supermarket that was promised will always be in their futuristic mind. But here, it will become a golden space for the downtown area.
因为这里距离a市某部队很近，而另一个炮兵团距离这里也不远，正好都在西南区。
It is near the A unit, and the Artillery region, which were both at the Southwest district
日后的a市，在末世初至、丧尸爆发的时候，一共建立了起两个基地。一个就是在这两个部队保护下迅速清理出来的西南基地，另一个则是东部基地。
In the first days of the end of the world, during the zombie outbreak. The people established a total of two bases in this area. One is the rapidly southwest base cleared under the protection of the two forces and the other is the eastern base.
自己当年在m市被破后一路北上、逃到了西南基地，而东部基地在灾后第二年、自己逃到a市后不久，也被丧尸和变异动物连手攻破。
After the M district broke through all the way to the north, fled to the southwest base. And after the fire in the eastern district, I fled to the A district, but not long after, it was broken through by the mutants and zombies too.
和中介一起走进宏景小区，罗勋有些怀念地看向三号楼的底层——三号楼东角的那间地下室，就是自己逃难到a市后的落脚点，也是自己足足住了八年多的“家”。
Leading with the mediator, they entered the Macro district (again some fancy name could be here). Luo Xin recalled the memories from the 3rd floor----the triangle basement, in which he landed after the escape to A district, where he called home in the basement for 8 years
但今生既然有更好的选择，他自然不会再回到那间地下室——更何况，现在这片小区的地下室只会租给那些存放货物的商家。
But since life has a better choice, he naturally will not return to the basement - not to mention that now the cell basement will only be rented to those who store the goods business.
崭新的楼道里，被一些人用油性签字笔张狂地画出一串串电话号码、贴上小广告，后面或跟着“装修”，或写着“安装空调”，又或写着“送水”等等，就连电梯的大门也不放过。
In the new building (a name perhaps), have been vandalized by spray paint, which phone numbers, advertisements, and big letters in “In constructions”, “Installing air conditioner”, “Bring water” etcetera. Not even the main elevator door was protected from these markings
两人进入电梯后，崭新的电梯里面也写满、贴满了这些东西。
As the two entered the elevator, it was also vandalized inside.
中介见罗勋一脸好奇地看着这些字迹，苦笑着说道：“他们小区物业还没到位呢，现在没人管，这些人就提前跑来了。”
The mediator looked at Luo Xi, who was looking at these markings with a weird sight and bitterly laughed, “ The resident district has not received the upgrades yet, so the people came ahead for themselves”
“这才是商业头脑啊。”看着这些亲切又有些陌生的“牛皮癣”、“楼道纹身”，罗勋不由有些感叹。他当初来到这里的时候墙壁早已肮脏得不成样子，有丧尸死后脓液脑浆的污浊，有活人死前鲜血的泼洒，墙面根本看不出还有小广告的影踪。
It was truly a business’ thought, as he looked at the nostalgic markings, Luo Xin could not help but sigh.When he first came here, the walls had long been dirty and unspeakable. After the death of the zombies, the brain and pus soiled the walls and with the splash of blood, what was left had no trace that any markings had ever been there.
两人一路坐到16层停下，物业掏出钥匙打开门。没错，就是这栋房子……
As the two stopped at the 16th floor, the property manager took out the key and opened the door. That’s right, it was this house……...
“一楼是客厅、阳台、厨房、卫生间、储物间，二楼是一大一小两间卧室、露台、卫生间、浴室。”中介一面介绍一面引着他向里走。
“The first floor is the living room, patio, kitchen, bathroom, and the storage room. The second floor contains one big and one small bedroom, balcony, bathroom, and shower room.” The mediator introduced the house while showing him the way.
“他们家房子是精装修，连防盗门都换好了，本来是准备自己家住的，后来好像是调动工作吧？工作地点离咱西南区太远了只好先租出去。所以他家还没来得安电器……”
Their house was built very decoratively, even the thief protection was installed. They were supposed to live here, but after a change in work they moved, since it was too far from the house, so they ended up renting a house elsewhere. So the house currently never have any electrical appliances installed
罗勋微微点头，心里清楚这家人根本不是这个原因不住的。这套房子因为带露台和大阳台、地理位置又比较偏，原本是儿女准备收拾出来给家中老人住的，结果刚把房子装好、还没来得急装电器，家里老人就疾病去世了，房子自然就空出来了。
Luo Xin slightly nodded his head, knowing the real reason this house was vacated. Since the house had a balcony, a patio, and a wide space, it was a daughter’s house that was built for her elderly family. But once the house was finished, and was missing just the electrical appliances, the elderly died from an illness, which is why the house is now empty.
中介可能是怕这么说自己会不想租，才故意含糊其词。
The mediator, probably didn’t want to tell this story since no one will rent it if he did, told him about the other made up one.
看着前面通透到底的大玻璃窗，温暖的阳光直直地泼洒进来，罗勋心中更加满意，又走到二楼，并没太仔细看空荡荡的卧室，而是直接走到露台处，果然，露台也是用玻璃直接封好的，一来是为了老人安全，二来也是因为顶楼风太大。
Looking at the sunlighting flowing from the window, Luo Xin was excited, he went upstairs, and brushing past the bedroom, made his way to the balcony. And as he expected, the balcony was covered by a thick piece of glass, in prevention and safety of the elderly, as the wind up high would be too strong.
更让罗勋赞叹的是，这家人用的竟然全是钢化玻璃！就冲这玻璃，一个月三千五，在a市边缘地带租上这么一套罗勋也觉得值！
Even more fascinating, the windows were all tempered glass! With this type of glass, at the price of $3,500 in the A district was a great deal.
“行，房子不错。”
Hmm, this house is not bad
“那您？”
Your decision?
“租，房东什么时候能过来签合同？”
I’ll rent it, when can the landlord come and sign the contract?
中介连忙喜笑颜开地给房东打电话。
The mediator quickly smiled and called the landlord
三千五百元一个月，压一付三，再加中介的三千五百元中介费。
$3,500 per month, with the security deposit of three times the rent, and the property manager’s fee of $3,500
十月一日上午双方签好协议，罗勋拿到了梦寐以求的房屋钥匙。
The two sides signed the contract on the first of October, and Luo Xin got the key to his dream house
站在空荡荡的房间，罗勋只觉得前所未有的兴奋。
Standing in the empty room, Luo Xin felt the excitement of his future life.
这套房子是他从前世时就非常羡慕的一处房屋。在自己来到a市西南基地时，基地里面已经大致普及了部分适合家庭种植作物的种植方法，以及水源的简单净化法等等。
He had admired this house in his past life. When he came to the southwest district, the center used an agriculturally designed landscape, with purified water and simple purification of minerals.
之后，又陆续有探索队在a市附近原本的农田中取到变异作物的种子，经研究社分析鉴定后，其中有一部分产量大、种植周期短、可以提供人体基础能量的作物被普及了下来。
Afterwards, successive teams of explorers took the seeds of the mutated crops in the original farmlands near the A district. After analysis and identification by the research institute, some of them were large-yielding and short in planting cycles. Providing the essentials for the communities, these crops were quickly planted.
当时的自己只有一间不到十平米的地下室，窗口只有细细一线，还经常被左右的楼房遮挡住无法照射到阳光。更不像早期到达的居民那样，在楼顶拥有属于自家的一小片地方，可以架设太阳能板供自家使用。罗旭需要电时，必须向其他人家高价购买。
At that time, he was only living in a basement less than 10 square meters. The window was only a thin line, and also often blocked around the building and as a result, the sunlight could be exposed. Unlike the residents who arrived earlier, they had a small piece of their own home on the roof of the building where they could set up solar panels for their own use. When Luo Xu needed electricity, he needed to get it from a high price.
可即使这样，他也在小小的一间地下室中种植了不少不需要阳光的作物，如豆芽、韭黄、蒜黄这些没有变异的作物，以及一些可以养在相对阴暗地方、大产量的变异作物，最后还存下了不少钱。
Even so, he planted a lot of crops that did not need sunshine in a small basement, such as bean sprouts, chives, garlic, and other non-mutated crops, as well as some large-yielding variations that could be kept in relatively dark places. At the end, the crops saved him a lot of money
罗勋的脑子好使动手能力也很强，即使外界条件很差，也能让他找到可以生存的途经，何况如今他重活一世呢？
Luo Xun's mind works so that his hands-on ability is very strong. Even if the external conditions are poor, he could still find ways to survive. Perhaps he could also lead a better life in the new time?
宏景小区前期只盖好了八栋，一部分是市区中北面某区的回迁房，剩下足足六栋楼都是准备出售的商品房。
____(name) district only has eight buildings that were done, one part being the north central urban district, and the other six parts to be used as commercial standings.
这个小区才刚刚封顶三个多月，自己现在租下的这间房子也才刚刚装修好不到一个月。
This neighborhood had reached its cap in three months, and now his house had already been renovated in less than 1 month
直到末世来临后，剩下的、还在动工中的房子一共只盖起了四栋，有两栋刚刚封顶，剩下的两栋连门窗还没装好呢。那两栋房最后是在末世后、这里成为安全区后才在部队的监督下彻底弄好的。剩下那些已经建好的房子地产商还没来得急出售末世就来临了，再也没人知道它们原本的主人在哪儿，后来自然被幸存者们分掉了。
Until the apocalypse, the rest of the houses were still under construction. Only four houses were built, and two of them have just been capped, with the remaining two not having the windows and doors. The two houses were finally completed under the supervision of the armed forces after the apocalypse as a safe area. The rest of the completed were not brought out when the apocalypse came, and no one knew who their original owners were. Naturally, these houses were left for the survivors to live in.
自己租下的这栋房子，前世是一家三口居住的屋子，他们是在末世来临前半个月租下的。这栋房子装修虽好，但却是个彻头彻尾的空房子，一应家电全都没有，大都市中大多数打工族都会选择拎包入住的房子来租，谁管你家装修用的什么材料？花了多少
The house I rented myself was a family of three living in the past life and only rented half a month before the end of the apocalypse. Although the decoration of the house is good, it is an empty house downright. There were no electrical appliances. Most migrant workers in the metropolitan area will choose to stay in the furnished houses. Who could care what decorational wood you used, or how high quality were your carpets, and how much you spent to renovate it?
因此，这户房子在这片租金均价约为三千元上下的小区里一直没能租出去，而房东家又因为老人的遗产问题，几个兄弟姐妹间一直在闹家务，所以一直没有添加过电器，直到后来的租客到来。
This house has not been able to rent out in this district where the average rent is about $ 3,000. However, the landlord has not been able to rent any more because the elderly and several siblings have been engaged in domestic work. There has been no time to install the electrical appliances, until tenants came into the house.
这个房子后来的主人罗勋认识，姓吴，因为他家是跃层占了足足两层，房子朝向又极好，在后期可以从军方购买太阳能板时，几乎把他家外墙全都挂满了。可罗勋除非实在买不到电，不然根本不会去他家买。
Luo Xun knew the past life’s owner of the house, Wu. Since his family was big and the house had two layers. And later, one could buy solar panels from the military, he hung them all around the house. But Luo Xun during that time could not find any place to buy electricity, so he had no choice but to buy from him.
那个被称为吴姐的女人性格极其彪悍，且爱占小便宜。平时去别人家买电的次数多了，双方熟悉后多少都会有些优惠。可他家不给优惠不说，罗勋自己新买的充电电池在他家冲了一次电后竟然换给自己一个旧的！
The one that is known as Wu woman's r is extremely sturdy, and loves cheap products. Coming e houses very often, there were always some discounts for some of them. But he did not give him any. As Luo Xin one time came to use his new rechargeable battery at their house, they replaced his new one with an old one.
当时双方差点打起来，可他家丈夫、儿子，再加上她，三个膀大腰圆的叉腰站在门口，眼见自己再敢多说就要把自己从十六楼丢下去，这口气只得咽下。
At that time, the two sides fought, but seeing the husband, son, and her, standing on the doorway with three big waist-shaped akimbo, Luo Xin had to shut up before he got pushed down from the 16th floor.
而他家，仗着房屋地点好，每天只靠卖电就能很滋润地养活一家人，家中不但不像别人家似的养殖作物，家中儿子比罗勋还大好几岁呢，却连一次安全区都没出过！打死不肯外出参加探险队，他妈也舍不得。
As the place was a great one in the residential area, the family relied on selling electricity to live, unlike the others which grew crops to sell. Their son was older than Luo Xin by a lot, but had never gone past the safe arena once! His mother would’ve never let him go out on expeditions to the outside.
这处房子的房东在末世后还在不在、回没回过西南基地？罗勋不知道，但恐怕应该会死在这次天灾之中。就算他们回来了，按之后基地执行的规则，他们也不能要回原本的房屋，基地会另行分配。
Did the landlord of the house survive in the apocalypse and return to the southwest district? Luo Xin didn’t know, but they should’ve died in the disasters. Even if they came back, they would’ve never come to this house, since they would be in organized homes for the refugees.
罗勋不是什么救苦救难的圣母，他在前世就是普通的底层老百姓，到了今生也没从想过要做什么了不得的大人物。
Luo Xun is not the Hero, as he is the ordinary people of his past life, and never thought about doing something great to the world.
如今，有了自己需要的房子，就有了他安身度日的小窝，他要打造一个堡垒，一个可以让自己生活的比前世更好一些、一个可以让他安心度过那漫长而又可怕的末世的家园。
Now, with the house he needs, he has a nest in which to live, he wants to build a fortress, one can make his life better than past life, one can make him feel relieved to spend that long and terrible apocalypse.
现在，距离末世还有57天。
Now, only 57 days until the apocalypse
